2 easy questions I cant seem to find the answer to

I have recently noticed that surface ships have two distinct sound spots. Their bearing is different. Like one of them is coming from bow wave and the other one is from propellers. This gets more obvious when the ship gets closer. The bearing difference gets larger. And they are close but not perfectly matched on narrowband display. Submarines doesnt have this characteristic. They have only one sound spot.
Can anyone confirm this? I didnt see this one mentioned anywhere before.

Edit: Ohh sorry it was my mistake. I was just practicing with mission editor. I put one ship at 0' bearing and other one at 180' bearing. So their true contacts overlapped with the other ones ambiguous contact. Also there was a sub on the 90' bearing. So i concluded with my fake scenario. How silly! Anyway the conversation i opened went on another direction which may become useful!
